Le songe d'une nuit d'été

Midsummer Night's Dream

"Sleep while I hold you in my arms." In the illustration, Titiania is seen cuddling Bottom. This illustration shows the girl almost attempting to burrow into Bottom. The colors depict that the illustration gives an eerie feeling. Bottom's head was recently transformed into a donkey, while Titania was recently given a love spell. When she woke up, she fell in love with Bottom due to the spell, which made her fall in love with the first person she laid eyes on. The illustration describes the story perfectly with the gloomy colors, placement, and lines.
